SHIRT-HANGER FOR DRIERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 681 ,674, dated September 3, 1901.

Application filed April 16, 1901. Serial No. 56,048. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM M, BARNES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shirt-Hangers for Driers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has for its object the production of an improved hanger which will support the shirt during drying and prevent the same from stretching or drying crooked.

My invention can be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which v Figure 1 is a perspective of my improved device with a shirt secured thereto. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my improved device.

A is a standard from each side of which laterally project the curved arms B. Extending downward from the standard A is the projection a, which projects to a point below the arms 13. From this projection extending outward is the pin 1), and extending downward and at an angle to the pin 1) is a second pin '7), having an end portion bent at an angle.

Projecting upward from the standard A is the post 0. At the upper end of this post is the wide flange c. The ends of these flanges are connected by the inclined sides 0 0 thus forming a wide or long bearing for attacl1- ment of the device to the fixed or movable support in the drying-room.

In operation (see Fig. 1) the arms B B are thrust into the sleeves of the shirt D and the pin I) inserted in the rear collar-button holes and the angular portion of pin b inserted in front collar-button hole or holes. By holding the shirt in this manner on the hanger by means of the pins 1) and b the shirt is at all times maintained in proper position on the hanger and prevented from assuming a crooked position.

This hanger is suspended in the dryingroom on the hearing at the upper end of the post 0. The peculiar bearing holds the hanger in a straight position and the arms B horizontal and prevents the hanger from oscillating.

By use of this hanger the shirt is prevented from stretching or drying crooked.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to protect byLetters Patent, is-

1. An improved shirt-drying hanger, comprising projecting arms and a central pin projecting at a right angle to the line of the arms, and a second pin projecting downward and at an angle to the first-mentioned pin and having an angular end.

2. An improved shirt drying hanger, comprising a standard, arms projecting on opposite sides of said standard, a pin projecting from said standard at right angles to the line of the arms, a vertical post projecting from said standard, flanges projecting from the end of said post, the flanges being joined by upwardly-inclined sides, and a second pin projecting downward and at an angle to the firstmentioned pin and havingan angular end.

3. An improved shirt-drying hanger comprising a standard, arms projecting on opposite sides of said standard, a downward projection from said standard and a pin projecting from said downward projection at right angles to the line of the arm.

4. An improved shirt-drying hanger comprising a standard, arms projecting on opposite sides of said standard, a downward projection from said standard and a pin projecting from said downward projection at right angles to the line of the arms, and a second pin projecting downward and at an angle to the first-mentioned pin and having an angular end.

5. An improved shirt-drying hanger comprising a standard, arms projecting on opposite sides of said standard, a vertical post projecting from said standard, flanges projecting from the end of said post, the flanges being joined by upwardly-inclined sides, a downward projection from said standard and a pin projecting from said downward projection at right angles to the line of the arms.
